Example code for the id SPLINEOBJECT_TYPE in Ospline

Note that this is not the actual code from the Ospline file.

This code is just an example to show you how to add a similar control to your own description.

Resource File Code (Ospline.res)


LONG  SPLINEOBJECT_TYPE

    CYCLE 
    {         SPLINEOBJECT_TYPE_LINEAR; 
        SPLINEOBJECT_TYPE_CUBIC; 
        SPLINEOBJECT_TYPE_AKIMA; 
        SPLINEOBJECT_TYPE_BSPLINE; 
        SPLINEOBJECT_TYPE_BEZIER; 
    }
}
